Here at BROography, we’re all about living a rich life. And that includes not only consuming delicious food but being able to create the delicacies. If you’ve traveled to Italy, you might have experienced this rare treat called Porchetta. It’s a nesting doll of a meat, layer after layer of flavors. An Epicurian classic.
After spending way too much time looking at porchetta recipes on YouTube, I decided ...

After spending the early afternoon diving and snorkeling in the underworld of Dos Ojos Cenote, we arrived in Playa del Carmen right before sunset. We found a small city parking next to Parque Los Fundadores. As soon as we started walking the streets, it instantly hit us that Playa del Carmen was closer to Miami than Tulum, with tourists aplenty and big, loud American shops and fast food franchises. Playa, ...

This is the first article in a new series on jobs and careers. We at BROography want you to live a rich life (no we don’t mean sitting on a pile of cash like Scrooge McDuck). And since most of us spend half our waking hours at work, it is very important to thrive in this environment and be fulfilled by what you do. Unfortunately, if you’re still a student, or just getting out of college, you’ll soon realize ...

Behind every great man, there is a great woman. So this archaic saying goes. Today is International Women's Day, and we have plenty of women to celebrate who take center stage and don't have to be behind or come after a man.
Last May, I attended a Google talk by Zim Ugochukwu, the creator of Travel Noire, a travel company, blog, and community for Black millenials. She is one of the most inspiring ...

We arrived in Tulum as night was falling. Jarelle and I, balling hard on virtual crypto mega profits, had decided to book one of those overpriced eco resorts right in the protected Tulum beach reserve. Tulum was “discovered” by hippies in the 80’s, who slept in cheap beach huts with minimal to no amenities. In the history and context of exploration, “discovered” would mean when white people first arrived ...

Our first morning in Mexico had already brought its lot of exciting wonders. If you've read our article on Chichen Itza and Ik Kil, then you know we got to experience some worthy tourist blockbusters. At 1pm on that day, we drove back the 45 min to Valladolid and had a quick lunch of leftover foods at our AirBnB. Then, around 2:30pm, we drove the opposite direction, 45 min straight north of Valladolid. What ...

Ask your friends who have been to Yucatán where they’ve visited, and they’ll most likely say Cancún, Chichen Itza pyramid and cenote Ik Kil. One is the spring break destination par excellence and the others postcard-perfect tourist magnets. Large and modern highways take you from one to the other uninterrupted, in air-conditioned tour buses.
But hidden in the dense jungle and little pueblos are other ...

Playa Gigante: sunsets and relaxation
Three volcanoes in our Nicaragua journey (...and we had skipped two for lack of time), we had planned the final days to be all about relaxation at the beach.
So after narrowly managing to board a small ferry off the island of Ometepe, we drove 45 min west to Playa Gigante. There are about a dozen small beach towns like these on the Southwestern coastline of ...

This morning, the lock screen of Windows computer (yes, Windows, don’t give me any shit Apple fanboys) showed me a picture of Erta Ale, an active basaltic volcano in Ethiopia. You can go to the edge, but the volcano is situated in the Afar Depression, a badland desert area and one of the toughest place on Earth.
So if you don’t want to caravan on a camel’s back for a week under 50°C heat, but still want ...

Hello all, and welcome to my first blog post of the year! Jarelle has given his impression of our first two days reuniting in Nicaragua, and has shared the awesomeness that is volcano boarding, so I won’t go over it again. I want to give you my impression of the start of this memorable Central America trip and tell you more about those first two days in León.
Going Through Airport Hell
The trip started in ...

About Us

We are Romain and Jarelle, two bros from opposing backgrounds who have grown through our unlikely friendship. We met while studying abroad in Australia in 2013, but the idea for Broography as a means for sharing our travel adventures and our life discoveries only came in June 2017...
